Joshua Carr, Master’s Level Clinical Intern

Joshua is pursuing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johns Hopkins University. He was inspired to become a mental health counselor by the change that happens through authenticity and collaboration. He brings his true self into the room and invites clients to do the same, creating an environment where they can explore openly and work toward lasting change. His perspective emphasizes that progress, no matter how small, is always meaningful. 

Joshua’s approach to treatment is structured, collaborative, and personal. He utilizes an integrative approach, recognizing that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. He continues to refine his skills and training in evidence-based practices such as CBT, postmodern approaches rooted in multicultural and feminist theory, narrative therapy, Rogerian therapy, family systems, somatic work, and faith-based practices. This flexibility allows him to tailor sessions to the unique needs and values of each client while honoring their culture, identity, and lived experience. 

In sessions with Joshua, clients will experience a space where they can safely tell their stories and reconnect with their emotions. Joshua recognizes that problems are rarely just “individual”—they are often shaped by family patterns, cultural messages, and larger systems. Therefore, he works to help clients identify the messages and stories they’ve carried.  

Joshua Carr is under the clinical supervision of Patrice Forrester, LCSW-C, licensed in the State of Maryland (#16103).
